Fuel pressure to be tested next weekend, maybe ask them to check the cat. I'll also try the boost solenoid maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was either one of two things that resolved it.1) The boost solenoid maintenance shown here - http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.ph...1329&st=162 . I am leaning towards this because when the car was on the dyno I did notice that, for example, the 10psi tune spiked to about 12-13psi before holding 10psi. I put it down to the crappy wastegates on these cars, but I wonder if it was overboosting and pinging as a result because the boost solenoid was sticking open.2) Disconnecting the battery for an hour.Thanks everyone for your tips. Car goes hard now and boost appears to be much more linear - it just feels like massive torque all the way to the redline. Another reason I think it was the boost control solenoid ...

Can the computer read each cylinder on these engines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
